| Overview |  |  |

- iGPS is based on the GPS chipset of your smartphone to Track and Graph in realtime your outdoor activities such as running, biking, hiking, ...
  See the section "On the Move" to consult the whole list of all features.
- All your tracks are saved on your Palm and you are able to consult details and graphs as you want.
- iGPS allows you to Pause and Resume your track as many as you want and displays the total time paused.
- iGPS allows to Trace in realtime your track on a map with all the waypoints.
- iGPS allows you to Export your track in GPX or KML format in order to visualize your trace in Google Earth, Google Maps or any GPX or KML-capable application.
- iGPS allows you to save your track in a dedicated calendar. All your tracks are saved in iGPS calendar.
- iGPS allows you to display compass in full screen by taping on it.
- iGPS allows you to share your track via Tweeter or Facebook
- iGPS allows you to view you current position in Google maps (satelitte view).
- iGPS is also ideal for geocaching. Send your current position via SMS or Email.

| Important to know |  |  |

- To have a quicker GPS fix, the Auto Locate Location Services (3rd card of launcher) must be set to ON.
- GPS requires a direct "line-of-sight" to communicate with satellites.
- Your webOS device must have a clear view of the sky to acquire at least 3 satellites in order to accurately determine your position.
- If you are indoors, in a wooded area or surrounded by buildings, you may be unable to acquire an accurate signal.
- If the fix is too long or an error message is displayed, reset your device then try again.
- For Verizon users:
  Due to Verizon restrictions, you can encounter problems to acquire signal.
  This problem is known and to fix it apply the following patch
- When your device is not moving or when Pause is enabled iGPS don't count nodes.

| On the move |  |  |

When your device is not moving or when Pause is enabled iGPS don't count nodes.
Once you have a good GPS fix, visualize in real time all relevant informations (depending on selected units), such as :
- Time elapsed.
- Distance.
- Speed: current, average and maxi.
- Altitude: current, mini and maxi.
- Slope (%).
- Calorie burned v1.5.8
- Trace your track on a map. v2.0.0
- Speed graph.
- Altitude graph.
- Total Elevation Ascent and Descent.
- Rotative compass.
- Number of GPS points acquired.
- Latitude & Longitude.
- Hor. & Vert. accuracy.
- GPS signal strength(weak to strong).
- ...
- You can define as many Waypoints you want by tapping on . All these waypoints are attached to your track.
- To Pause your track, tap on
- To Stop recording your track, tap on

| Calc. of elevations |  |  |

Elevations + and - are calculated from altitudes captured by iGPS.
To avoid inconsistencies, the algorithm of calculation uses a threshold value.
This threshold is the minimum altitude to be taken into account in computing. It is used to filter the errors of accuracy.
This threshold can be set in the Preferences.
For example: You are on flat and iGPS records your track. As it determines its position by triangulation with satellites, this one is fluctuating.
You are at 803 ft (245m) and iGPS will record 800-803-800-797-803-807-807.
If iGPS just adds elevations, you end up with 13 ft(4m) of elevation climbed and 10ft(3m) of elevation - while you're on flat.
The threshold corrects this error.
3 threshold values are proposed.
- The threshold "Low" takes into account elevation > or < 16.4ft (5m).
- The threshold "Medium" takes into account elevation > or < 26.2ft (8m).
- The threshold "Large" takes into account elevation > or < 32.8ft (10m).
Nota 1: A threshold value "Medium" is suitable for all tracks. Our many tests confirm.
If your track is a majority ascending or descending, set a "Low" threshold.
Nota 2: While tracking, you can change at any time this threshold value and iGPS will display the values of elevation depending on the selected value.
This specificity is also effective when you consult the details of a track saved.
Nota 3: The elevations are calculated on altitude data captured by the GPS chipset of your device. That means they are dependent on the accuracy of the satellite connection.
An optimal connection will give accurate calculations of elevations and vice versa.
iGPS can't be responsible of incorrect values of elevation.

| Export & Trace your track |  |  |

- Tap on to display the list of your saved tracks.
- Tap on the track you want to export.
- Tap on the button of your choice [GPX] or [KML] at the bottom of the screen.
- The eMail application is launched and iGPS has filled the body of the email with your track in the selected format.
- Enter your email address then send the email.
- Open the email on your computer.
- Copy all the text in small font and paste it into a blank text file.
- Save this file with extension .gpx or .kml (Example: iGPS-02.kml)
- Drag this file in Google Earth, Google Maps or any GPX or KML-capable application.
- Enjoy !
